ENTERPRISE METALS LIMITED Annual General Meeting 28 November 2012

Resolution 4 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility

4.1 General

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the AGM ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.

The Company is now seeking Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 4.2(c) below).

The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for the following purposes:

  • cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards further exploration of the Doolgunna and Fraser Range Projects, to continue the exploration of its land tenure for further discoveries of resources and pursuit of consolidation opportunities across the region and/or general working capital; or

  • non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 4 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

  • 4.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A

  • (a) Shareholder approval

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an AGM.

(b) Equity Securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue two classes of Equity Securities, being quoted Shares (save for those that are subject to escrow) and unlisted Options.

  • (c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an AGM may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the AGM, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

  • A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (i) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (ii) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • (iii) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity’s 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;

  • (iv) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.

D

  • is 10%;

  • 7 –

ENTERPRISE METALS LIMITED

Annual General Meeting 28 November 2012

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

  • (d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 213,220,776 Shares. The Company therefore has a capacity to issue:

  • (i) 31,983,116 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) 21,322,078 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 4.2(c) above).

(e) Minimum Issue Price

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (f) 10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the AGM at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the AGM at which the approval is obtained; or

  • (ii) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

or such longer period if allowed by ASX ( 10% Placement Period ).

4.3 Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 4 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

4.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:

  • (a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company’s Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (b) If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the meeting; and

  • 8 –

ENTERPRISE METALS LIMITED

Annual General Meeting 28 November 2012

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable “A” calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.

The table shows:

  • (i) two examples where variable “A” has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) In calculating the 10% voting dilution under each scenario, all fractions were rounded up.

  • (ii) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • (iii) No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • (iv) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • (v) The table shows only the effect of issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (vi) The issue price is $0.235, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 18 October 2012.

  • (c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 4 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

  • (d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:

  • (i) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards further exploration of the Doolgunna and Fraser Range Projects, to continue the exploration of its land tenure for further discoveries of resources and pursuit of consolidation opportunities across the region and/or general working capital; or

  • 9 –

ENTERPRISE METALS LIMITED

Annual General Meeting 28 November 2012

  • (ii) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new resources, assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or Associates of a related party of the Company.

  • (e) The Company has not previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.

  • (f) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.
